“Vanderpump Rules” star Katie Maloney seemingly accused castmate Raquel Leviss of “lying” in her new interview with Bethenny Frankel.
After Leviss made several claims about her scandalous affair with Tom Sandoval during Wednesday’s episode of the “Just B” podcast, Maloney took to her Instagram Story to share a cryptic message.
“So you know that trending sound or song or whatever that was like, ‘Why the f—k you lying?'” she said as she laid in bed while using a stone roller on her face.
“Anyways, that’s been stuck in my head all morning for some reason.”
Maloney, 36, also captioned the clip, “Can’t figure out why.”
The reality star’s post came hours after Frankel, 52, dropped the latest episode of her podcast, in which Leviss got candid about her months-long affair with Sandoval.
The former beauty queen alleged that the TomTom co-owner recorded a NSFW video of her without her consent prior to their dalliance being exposed.
Leviss, 28, explained that she was in New York City doing press for Season 10 of the Bravo show when she FaceTimed Sandoval, 41, on March 1.
“I decided to be adventurous and look at the adult section on the TV, and Tom and I FaceTimed a lot, so it turned into something more of an intimate FaceTime. I expected to have privacy in that moment, so that happened,” she recalled.
She claimed that she had no idea Sandoval — who was in a relationship with Ariana Madix at the time — had recorded their FaceTime until Madix, 38, discovered the explicit videos on his phone that night and sent it to her.

“I get a text from Ariana sending me two screen recorded videos and a text that said, ‘You’re dead to me,’ and that’s how I knew that she knew,” Leviss continued. “And then also that’s how I found out I had been recorded without my consent, so of course all of these emotions came flooding over me.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Leviss spoke about how her 90-day stay at a mental health facility helped her realize why she went after men who were taken.
“The other part of the reason why I wanted to go to a treatment facility was to understand my behaviors and my goal was to really get down to the bottom of, why am I choosing men that are unavailable? Why do I keep finding myself in unhealthy relationships?” she told Frankel.
The Bravolebrity said that she was still struggling after calling off her engagement to James Kennedy in 2021, which played a part in her affair with Sandoval.
“I was completely wrapped up in heartbreak and wanting to get certain needs met,” she said. “Looking back now, I can see that I was still healing from a relationship from somebody who I thought I was going to marry and in ending that, I still hadn’t healed yet, so when I was filming I was drinking a lot to ease that anxiety.”
Additionally, Leviss accused Bravo of profiting off the affair — dubbed “Scandoval” — while she hasn’t made any money from it.
“The network is running to the bank — laughing, running to the bank with this scandal — and I haven’t seen a single penny,” she said, emotionally describing the situation as “exploitation.”
“It’s not fair,” she continued. “And I feel like a toddler saying, ‘It’s not fair!’ But it really isn’t. And I feel like I’ve been portrayed as the ultimate villain. My mistakes that I’ve made on-camera live on forever.”
Bravo did not return Pvnew’s request for comment.
The “Vanderpump Rules” cast is currently filming Season 11 without Leviss, who has been playing “hardball” with Bravo execs regarding the salary portion of her contract, according to sources.
